	The Girl With April In Her Eyes - Chris de Burgh

    

			   
There once was a king who called for the spring
					
For his world was still covered with snow
	  				
But the spring had not been for he was wicked and mean
	 			       
In his winter fields nothing would grow
	        				
And when a traveller called, seeking help at the door
       		    	
Only food and a bed for a night
       		  	
He ordered his slave to turn her away
              	                	
The girl with April in her eyes


Chorus :

  		    
Ah, autumn does she go
	       		  		    	
Through the winter's night, the wild wind and the snow
  						
High, autumn does she rise
	  		     	              
Someone help the girl with April in her eyes

2nd verse :

She rode through the night till she came to the light
Of a humble man's home in the wood
He brought her inside, by the firelight she died
And he buried her gently and good
Oh, the morning was bright, all the world snow white
But when he came to the place where she lay
His field was ablaze with flowers on the grave
Of the girl with April in her eyes

Repeat chorus:
